Chapter 67: Pt.2

Murong Shi said that she was going to exchange rooms with Little Yan. However, Xu Chuanchuan felt that she had to act more reservedly since this wasn't her home, so she forcibly chased Murong Shi back to her own room.

The next day, Murong Shi, Xu Chuanchuan, and Little Yan woke up early to get ready for work. Meanwhile, Aunt Lian had prepared a sumptuous breakfast for them.

Murong Shi sat beside Xu Chuanchuan. Then, she tugged at Xu Chuanchuan's ear and spoke in a voice that only they could hear, "I didn't get even a wink of sleep last night."

Xu Chuanchuan casually responded with an "Oh" before saying, "I slept very well last night."

Murong Shi reached under the table and gently pinched Xu Chuanchuan's thigh in retaliation.

Considering that a certain someone didn't have a good rest, Xu Chuanchuan volunteered to be the driver. Meanwhile, after getting into the passenger seat and buckling her seat belt, Murong Shi shut her eyes and began catching up on her sleep.

If one only looked at Murong Shi's face and sitting posture, she would be well-behaved when sleeping. However, her hand was not so well-behaved as it boldly rested on Xu Chuanchuan's thigh. It would even occasionally move about ambiguously, causing Xu Chuanchuan's heart to beat rapidly.

There was still half an hour left until working hours began when the trio arrived at the company, so Xu Chuanchuan and Little Yan first brought their respective luggage back to their dormitory.

When they arrived inside their apartment, Little Yan suddenly asked, "Cousin, where's your luggage?"

"Mine?" Murong Shi was confused.

"I thought you were going to move in with Chuanchuan. After all, you two have already...right?" Little Yan said before sending a meaningful glance at Xu Chuanchuan.

Meanwhile, Xu Chuanchuan blushed and quickly dragged her luggage into her room to avoid this topic.

A moment later, Murong Shi followed Xu Chuanchuan into the room and closed the door behind her. Then, she said, "I think what Little Yan said makes a lot of sense."

Faking ignorance, Xu Chuanchuan said, "What do you mean?"

Murong Shi looked absolutely stunning when she smiled. However, there were also times when her smile made her look like a cunning fox. Walking over step by step, she wrapped her arms around Xu Chuanchuan's waist and deliberately spoke slowly, "I'm talking about moving in with you, of course."

"..."

Although Xu Chuanchuan didn't clearly express her stance on the matter, Murong Shi had grandiosely moved into her room on that same day. Murong Shi came to nap with her during the afternoon, and after their dinner date, Murong Shi bought a new set of toiletries from a supermarket and stayed over that night.

After returning to the dormitory, Murong Shi tried to replace the bedsheet. However, because she was unused to doing chores, she failed to get the job done even after some time had passed.

Seeing this, Xu Chuanchuan decided to go over and help Murong Shi. While doing so, she hesitantly asked, "How will you explain to your family if you don't go home tonight?"

"I just told them I'd be staying in the company's dormitory," Murong Shi said. Then, she pushed Xu Chuanchuan aside and continued, "Let me do it. You should focus on your writing."

Xu Chuanchuan should indeed focus on writing her novel. So, she sat in front of her computer and opened up a blank document. Then, after pondering for some time, she started tapping away at her keyboard.

Murong Shi would never disturb her when she was working, so Xu Chuanchuan could finish her daily quota smoothly and quickly. However, as soon as Xu Chuanchuan finished writing, she immediately felt a pair of hands landing on her shoulders and giving her a gentle massage. Then, she heard Murong Shi saying, "I prepared your clothes already, so quickly go take a shower."

Xu Chuanchuan had been living by herself for the past several years, so she couldn't help but find it a little strange to have someone watch over her while she was working and even care for her. Even so, she didn't exactly dislike it. Leaning backward, she rubbed her head against Murong Shi's flat belly and jokingly said, "Are you here to be my nanny?"

Murong Shi smiled but did not speak. Instead, she pulled Xu Chuanchuan up and stuffed the clothing she prepared into Xu Chuanchuan's arms.

When Xu Chuanchuan looked down and found that it was the same set of overly-thin pajamas, her face instantly heated up as she recalled a certain indescribable scene. Immediately, she fled from the room without hesitation.

The night was still young. After coming out of the bathroom, Xu Chuanchuan felt a little parched, so she grabbed two cartons of cultured milk from the fridge and offered one to Murong Shi.

Murong Shi had just applied a facial mask, so she shook her head, signaling Xu Chuanchuan to drink it herself.

Little Yan found their flirting an eyesore, so she decided to return to her room and watch Xu Xiangxiang's live stream instead.

There was hardly any furniture in the living room. Apart from a refrigerator, a coffee table, and a sofa, there was nothing else here, so there was nothing that could be used for entertainment. Even so, Xu Chuanchuan didn't feel bored at all.

After poking a straw into the cultured milk carton, Xu Chuanchuan took a look at Murong Shi and said, "No wonder why you have such good skin. I'm normally too lazy to fiddle with things like facial masks."

"Do you want to try it?" Murong Shi asked, her voice slightly blurred because of the facial mask tightening her face.

"No, it's too troublesome," Xu Chuanchuan said. As she was too lazy to walk back to the refrigerator, she ended up drinking the second carton of cultured milk after finishing the first one.

Murong Shi playfully poked at Xu Chuanchuan's belly.

"I won't drink any more tomorrow," Xu Chuanchuan said in embarrassment.

Xu Chuanchuan finished the two cartons of cultured milk in no time at all. She didn't even spare the bit that had seeped out through the seams of the straw hole.

Seeing this, Murong Shi removed her facial mask and smiled, saying, What a glutton you are."

Xu Chuanchuan did not refute Murong Shi's words as she threw the empty cartons into the nearby trash can.

"You missed some."

"Where?" Xu Chuanchuan lowered her head and looked at the trash can. However, before she could reach for the cartons, something clamped down on her arm and pulled her aside.

Before Xu Chuanchuan could react to the situation, someone had given her lips a thorough licking.

Murong Shi carefully savored the bit of cultured milk with the tip of her tongue. Then, she said, "It tastes like red dates."

In response, Xu Chuanchuan glared at Murong Shi and said, "You said you didn't want any just now."

Murong Shi put on a triumphant smile.

Xu Chuanchuan had the habit of checking her books' comment section before going to bed. When she reached the bottom of the comment section and was about to close the reading application, she saw a system comment for a Deep-water Torpedo, and her eyes immediately went wide.

Murong Shi looked at the section of the screen Xu Chuanchuan was pointing at. Then, she truthfully said, "It's me."

Blood rushed to Xu Chuanchuan's head, and she angrily demanded, "Why are you using this name?!"

"What's wrong with this name? Look, some readers are even saying that it's cute."

Xu Chuanchuan tossed her phone aside and threatened to strangle Murong Shi. Then, she bellowed, "You're not allowed to use this name!!!"

"Is Little Whale not a cute name?" Murong Shi asked, blinking her eyes innocently.

"I hate it! You must change it!"

However, Murong Shi shook her head and firmly said, "I honestly think it's cute. Of course, you're cuter."

"..."

If Murong Shi had only changed her online nickname, Xu Chuanchuan could simply pretend not to see it and let it slide. However, when Murong Shi gifted her a blue whale bolster the next day, Xu Chuanchuan thoroughly became livid.

"This is my first time giving you a present. I wonder if you like it?"

Xu Chuanchuan tried her best to control her facial expression to prevent it from looking too twisted. Then, she spoke with gritted teeth, "If I say I don't like it, can I throw it away?"

"I'll be very sad if that's the case," Murong Shi said with a downcast expression.

"..."

Murong Shi had long since grown fed up with that crocodile bolster. The whale bolster she bought was 1.5 meters long. When put on the bed and covered with the blanket, it looked like a person was sleeping on the bed.

Xu Chuanchuan immediately got goosebumps from this scene. Then, she said, "You might as well sleep with that whale instead from now on."

In response, Murong Shi twitched her nose slightly and said, "I seem to smell a hint of jealousy."

"..."

Murong Shi hooked her finger at Xu Chuanchuan, signaling her to come closer. Then, she said in a righteous tone, "People shouldn't be too hypocritical. I didn't say anything about you saving my number as 'Little Jealous Bug,' so why can't I change my nickname to 'Little Whale?'"

Xu Chuanchuan blinked her eyes guiltily. Then, she said, "But I didn't save your number as Little Jealous Bug."

"You're not?"

"I changed it long ago."

Murong Shi stopped speaking. Then, she grabbed their phones sitting on the bedside table and used her phone to call Xu Chuanchuan's phone.

The next second, the words "Big Jealous Bug" appeared on the screen of Xu Chuanchuan's phone.

Xu Chuanchuan hurriedly snatched her phone away before a certain someone exploded.

However, Murong Shi had sharp eyes and agile hands, and she quickly pushed Xu Chuanchuan down onto the bed. Then, she bit down on Xu Chuanchuan's ear and said, "It seems you've grown very bold."

Xu Chuanchuan hurriedly raised her arms in submission and said, "I was wrong! I was wrong! You can call yourself Little Whale! Ahhh! Don't pull my shirt! I'm still not done writing!"

The mention of "writing" was highly effective as Murong Shi immediately released Xu Chuanchuan.

When Murong Shi saw Xu Chuanchuan agilely jumping away from her, she put on a sinister smile and said, "Do you think I can't deal with you just because of this excuse?"

Xu Chuanchuan didn't understand what Murong Shi was getting at, so she took a step back and warily covered her chest with her hands.

However, Murong Shi did not pounce on Xu Chuanchuan. Instead, what she did next was something Xu Chuanchuan would never forget for the rest of her life.

The next moment, Murong Shi flipped the whale bolster over and sat on its back. Afterward, she violently stripped off the "clothes" it wore and casually threw clothes on the ground. Then, she started slapping the whale's rear while shouting, "Ha!"

"..." Xu Chuanchuan instantly felt as if she was struck by lightning. After a moment of silence, she started yelling at the top of her lungs, "Help— There's a pervert here!"
